Saddle-maker's ledger book, 1795-1797, 1848-1870.

The ledger contains accounts, 1795-1797, of a saddle-maker, possibly William Reid. A later owner, possibly a Lizzie Reid, turned the volume into a commonplace book, pasting in clippings of short stories, poems, and sentimental engravings. Among them are articles by T.S. Arthur, Eliza Cook, "Paul Creyton" (J.T. Trowbridge), Edward Everett, Fanny Fern, Metta V. Fuller, George Lippard, Charles Mackay, and Tennyson.
